Love the stuff you do Diego :)

had you submited your Amigift GUI screenshots to the official site of GiFt so that they include in the GUIs page? it would be a good advertising for AmigaOS :)

AM I the only one who finds that the news items reads rather like a spoof/parody? (I had to check it wasn't April 1st!) May not help that I've never heard of "AMIGIFT" before...

Hmm, well... considering i didn't learn English in a school, and therefore my words (vocabulary) are quite limited on this language, i wonder if you may have right... hmm, but No, i don't think so... well... at least it was not my intention at all.

Thanks Diego !

Thanks for this much awaited update! I have tried to run it on my Os4.1 machine, I have installed openurl and MCC_TextInput 68k from Jabberwocky's site, unfortunately it crashes during initialization, here's the crashlog:

@diego: huh, it makes an impression of a solid app. i do not know how much i really need it but the community sure deserves more programs like that. very nice. hope will be able to try it out.

edit: here on 3.9 it seems to work. havnt configured it yet though.

Are there any reasons for requesting openurl.library 7? Version 6 would be not enough?

Thanks for the report/crashlog. but to be honest i have no idea why the kernel did a Trap there...

At the 'Initializing' step, third part libs/classes are checked to ensure minimum required are installed, could you please check with Snoopy at which step/component the crash occur?

Someone reported already a similar crash under sam, but he did not had installed textinput.. and he is an os4-betatester with newer components than the ones supplied with the last OS4.1 distro (There are OS4.1 users do not having this problem)

btw, the "dependencies" archive includes all third part resources used by amigift.

To handle "mailto:" links from within GiFTMui, IIRC (implemented it quite long time ago) there i've noticed certain problems by using 6.x here under OS3.9 and found that using 7.x the problems was solved, so i just changed the requirement to be from 7.0.

anyhow, mailto: links isn't something crucial and the program can live without it, but what problem is there from using openurl 7.x? (I have been informed you MOS users only uses 6.3 as supplied with release 2.2, and refuses to install latest 7.3 version(?))

Edit: the one included on the deps archive for MOS users is this one, irrc: http://aminet.net/package/comm/www/OpenURLMOS

I have checked with Snoopy and I have found out that I was missing the vapor_#?.library files in LIBS:, I believe they are required by TextInput.mcc (or anyway by another MUI library). I don't know if it's possible to check if they're missing from within AmiGift, or if it's the MUI library itself that crashed.

I have read the dependencies list on the homepage and have installed all the required libraries (I was missing quite a few), now the program correctly runs. I have first tried using it without reading the documentation, and tried pressing "Connect" without having configured the client, from that moment the "Incomplete setup" error window appears every x seconds, and there seem to be no way to stop it appearing, although it seems that if you leave the error window open and wait for some minutes, the "Disconnect" button is unghosted, pressing it make the error window not to appear anymore. IMHO it would be better to just make the window appear once if no settings have been done.

The crash happens either at a call to:

MUI_NewObjectA("Textinputscroll.mcc", NULL);

or (if that call returns NULL):

MyOpenLibrary("MUI/Textinputscroll.mcc",0);

(...)

My OpenLibrary()-replacement checks for dependencies at the following locations:

CurrentDir
CurrentDir/LIBS
CurrentDir/PlugIns
ParentDir
ParentDir/LIBS
ParentDir/Plugins

(i wonder if there could be some problem related to the ParentFH's lock..)


Quote:

That interval is defined from Preferences->GiFTMui->sockopt (auto-connect interval)

When you get this behavior, just keep the requester open and go to the prefs to configure the program..

but you're right... this should have designed on a better way, probably.

@Varthall

Well, we can be sure if the crash happens into Textinput or into GiFTMui itself, if the crash happens as well by a missing component other that Textinput (?)

following varthalls instructions i got it up and running..
and ares connects..
i searched for amiga and then it crashed.

have you tryed with "MorphOS" like keyword? this new version is very sensible and it usually prefers a more precise bug report

Searching for Amiga, or Amiga-copyrighted titles, causes a window to come up with the "Against Piracy Campaign" logo, and the search is disallowed.

I am not bothered at all that you (or someone else) get a crash at this point.

(however.. i'll try to check the code related to this (which is here as-is since amigift 1.x))

...I need to say..that final Amigift version is workign for me..yeah and that is great... Thanx Diego!
